Best Consignment Software

What is Consignment Software?

Consignment software (aka resale, secondhand, used goods, thrift software) is a computer program that automates the consignment process - from tracking consignors and their inventory to labeling and selling items to payout.

What is Best Consignment Shop Software?

Best Consignment Software is possibly the only remaining Windows consignment program with freedom from never-ending financial burdens.

Save a Bundle with BCSS!

Quite often the first question people ask is, "Is this for real?". It is!

1. You pay once to own the software (not 'rent' it).
2. You control the software and your data - not the software provider.
3. You don't prepay for support so if support is never needed, there's no support payment!

Most importantly, you save enough to send your kid to Harvard, well, not:

Serious Concerns about 'the Other Guys'

Another significant concern with web-based software (which our is not) is that user data is stored and controlled by the software provider. This means:

1. Data Privacy: Your data is accessible to the provider, which could lead to privacy concerns if their security measures are compromised.
2. Data Security: The risk of unauthorized access or breaches increases if the provider's security practices are inadequate.
3. Data Control: You have limited control over your data once it is stored with the provider, potentially impacting how you can access or transfer it.
4. Service Dependency: If the provider faces issues or discontinues service, your access to your data and software could be interrupted.

'Cloud' software resides on a remote 'server' (computer) and is controlled by the software provider. The Internet consignment software stops working when your Internet, the Internet itself or the host's connection to the WWW fails. Moreover there is no protection from 'hacking'.

What Is A One-Payment Consignment Program?

'One payment' means lifetime use of BCSS software for one outlay. 'Program' often refers to a software application alone but an entire 'system' for running a store selling second-hand merchandise (as well as retail stock) could include computers, software, hardware, service and supplies.

Is Now a Good Time to Start

When the economy fell apart in 2008-9, the consignment business exploded. See if now is a good time to get started.
